(National Sentinel) Bias: Last week a report from far-Left Politico detailing Russian and Chinese espionage efforts in Silicon Valley contained a massive bombshell nugget that ought to have been the top story for a week for every major news outlet.

In reporting on the ongoing espionage efforts, which are aimed at stealing trade and technology secrets, the news site noted that the Chinese especially are also conducting political espionage, as there is a large ethnic Chinese presence in San Francisco and the surrounding area.

Spies from Russia and China are increasingly targeting American technology firms concentrated in Silicon Valley in California to conduct industrial espionage, but what’s more worrisome is that U.S. intelligence officials don’t believe American tech companies are prepared to deal with the growing threat. Because of the region’s “open, experimental, cosmopolitan work and business culture,” foreign spies are employing “newer, ‘softer,’ nontraditional” espionage tactics. Most are targeting trade secrets and sophisticated technologies. One former intelligence official said that recently one-fifth of all active FBI counterintelligence operations involving intellectual property cases came from the San Francisco Bay Area.

There is also a fair amount of political espionage taking place involving China, especially. While Beijing is definitely focused on stealing U.S. trade and technology secrets, it is also conducting traditional political intelligence-gathering operations as well. Former intelligence officials even said that China managed to recruit a staffer at Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office, who then reported back to Beijing about local politics.

Subsequent reporting by local media noted further that the staffer worked for Feinstein for about 20 years, including the fact that the spy was Feinstein’s driver.

The Politico bombshell report did not escape the attention of POTUS Donald Trump, who singled Feinstein out for ridicule over the weekend.

“The leader of the Russia investigation, Dianne Feinstein, had a Chinese spy as her driver for 20 years. And she’s leading the Russian ‘witch hunt.’ Isn’t that something? And then she says to me, ‘What did you know about this and that?’ Give me a break,” he said at a rally in Ohio.

To which Feinstein responded:

“(1/2) The FBI told me 5 years ago it had concerns that China was seeking to recruit an administrative member of my Calif staff (despite no access to sensitive information). I took those concerns seriously, learned the facts and made sure the employee left my office immediately,” she wrote.

“(2/2) Compare that to your actions: attacking the FBI and refusing the advice of your national security team. SAD! I appreciated then and now the diligent work of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies and acted in the best interests of the country. Give it a try!”

Of course, POTUS Trump has every reason to be upset with the former FBI leadership, doesn’t he? After all, they were responsible for launching Spygateunder the guise of being infiltrated by Russians. The James Comey-run bureau even used a bogus “dossier” gathered from Russian sources as justification for the spy operation.

But wait a second.

Feinstein said the FBI alerted her to the presence of a Chinese spy in her San Francisco office. Why didn’t the James Comey-run bureau notify then-GOP candidate Donald Trump about potential Russian spies infiltrating his campaign?

In fact, let’s recall that Comey alsodid not notify Congress’ “Gang of Eight” — the group of House and Senate leaders combined with the chair and co-chair of both intelligence committees — when his FBI launched its counterintelligence probe, despite the fact that it was customary to do so and despite the fact that it involved a presidential campaign.

When he was asked why he didn’t brief the Gang of Eight in a timely manner by Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., during Comey’s congressional testimony in March 2017, he replied, “I think our decision was it was a matter of such sensitivity that we wouldn’t include it in the quarterly briefings.”

The fact is, Comey didn’t brief lawmakers because he didn’t want them to know the investigation was taking place and start asking probing questions like “Why?”

Comey’s FBI tells a Democratic senator about a potential Chinese spy but he refused to tell the Trump campaign or Congressabout potential Russian infiltration.

This only sounds believable or legitimate if you’re a partisan Democrat.

The obvious comparison is this. What if this story was reversed and it was found out that Trump had a Chinese spy working in his employment for 20 years? The Left media would be screaming blood 24/7! However, because this demise fell on a Democrat, there is not one iota of criticism coming from the Left media. What do we hear from the Left? … crickets.

This proves the Russian collusion investigation really is a witch hunt. The Mueller team is sitting neck-deep in cow manure exposed from the Hillarity scandal and they all pretend it doesn’t exist. It’s like they are all saying, “What? Cow manure all over me? I smell nothing. I know nothing. I see nothing.” There is nothing Feinstein can say to prove her innocence. She is complicit as the rest of the Left.

Isn’t Feinstein one of the most pathetic excuses as a human being? Complete scum who deserves really bad karma the rest of her life. Throw her in prison for bring the communist / Russian colluder she is…,

Ye Gawd – just like when she leaked a TROVE of CONFIDENTIAL information to the public after her committee softball-interrogated Glenn Simpson in January: “Well I had a cold and wasn’t thinking properly”. (Gosh that’s okay FrankenFeinstein – better lower your geritol dose; anyone else/i.e., conservative: CRUCIFIXION in the Court of Public Opinion). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFvujknrBuE

So, isn’t there going to be an investigation? Her husband was making millions from China in business transactions for decades. She has visited China on numerous occasions throughout her career. She’s extremely rich. Now, a Chinese spy is discovered in her employment for the past 20 years?! This sounds like a Hillarity scandal. We need a special counsel to investigate possible collusion with China to determine if she and her husband sold national secrets for profit. An audit of their business should be made. Authenticate her story. Do we just accept it if she says, “I never knew”? Baloney!

If this happened to Trump, they would all demand the same thing without mercy.
